Glen Rock Regional Park Tenthill Valley

We explored this area a couple of times before and plan a return visit in this cooler time of the year. Glen Rock itself is a small protruding outcrop of 828 m on the northern end of the Mistake Mountains Range, which extends from the Main Range at Cunningham Gap to the Fassifern Valley. It can be reached within two hours drive of Brisbane. (~43 km from Gatton). Features include fertile flats, rugged basalt ridges & hidden rainforest gorges, rocky creeks and expansive views down distant valleys. There are a couple of ways to ascend this ‘little hill’ both of which are very steep, but not all that long. It should make an easy day all round. Of course there are other possibilities for experienced bushwalkers, like Point Pure, Blackfellow Falls and the Amphitheatre. These however would require at least two days, with planning well ahead.

Date: Sunday, 20 June

Time: 10am at the 'Casuarina' day use and camping area,

Glen Rock. Turn off the Hwy at Gatton. Find the Mt. Sylvia road

and head south to the Tenthill Valley.

This will be a medium to hard grade, short day walk of
